Listen carefully.

You will hear the recording twice.
10
I'm talking to Maria Anderson, a 16 -year -old champion gymnast, Maria.
11
Have you always dreamed of being a gymnast?
12
I got interested when I was eight.
13
I loved running and jumping and my teacher said I'd be good at sports.
14
I read a book about a gymnast who took part in the Olympics and her life seemed very hard.
15
Then I went to watch a gymnastics event with my dad and saw Gymnasts in Action and I thought, I'd like to do that.
16
Did you realise immediately you'd be a champion?
17
I tried too hard in the beginning.
18
I'm very competitive.
19
and was in a hurry to learn the moves.
20
I made so many mistakes, I nearly gave up.
21
Even when I won prizes at events in my town, I didn't think I'd ever be really good.
22
But a famous coach saw me doing floor exercise and said he'd give me lessons.
23
And then I knew I could get to the top.
24
You've done amazingly well since then.
25
Has success changed you?
26
I hope not.
27
I'm growing up, getting experience, but basically I think I'm the same.
28
My coach says the best athletes are sensible.
29
They don't let success make a difference to them as people.
30
And I think that's true of me.
31
It's just my mum and dad worry about me and wish I could lead a more normal life.
32
What about school?
33
Can you keep up with the other children?
34
I go to the Sports Centre at 5 :30 every morning to practice.
35
So I've been working for three hours before I even get to school.
36
It was hard at first.
37
I felt really tired but I'm used to it now.
38
I rest during the lunch break instead of being with my friends.
39
Lessons are alright, but I can't stay up late or go to parties.
40
Do you have time for hobbies?
41
Well, I travel a lot to events in other countries and I listen to music on the plane.
42
I hope I get a chance to go to a concert someday, and I like movies, but not cartoons.
43
My dad films me when I'm performing in a competition, and I put together videos for my website, which is fun.
44
What does your room at home look like?
45
I've got posters covering every wall, mostly of singers and bands.
46
The best thing is a photograph of me shaking hands with my hero.
47
A fantastic Russian gymnast I met last year.
48
Oh, and I've got all my cups and prizes in a glass case.
49
A bit embarrassing.
50
Now listen again.

このレッスンについて

このレッスンでは、体操選手マリアとのインタビューを使って、英語スピーキング練習やリスニング力を向上させます。インタビュー形式の会話は日常生活や試験(例えばIELTS スピーキング対策)でよく出るため、実践的な練習になります。会話の流れを追いながら、自然な発音やイントネーションを学び、shadow speechの技術も磨けます。

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • gymnast:体操選手
  • competitive:競争心の強い
  • floor exercise:床運動
  • keep up with:~についていく
  • put together:組み立てる、作成する
  • embarrassing:恥ずかしい

練習のコツ

このビデオの会話は自然なスピードで、インタビュアーとマリアのやり取りが親しみやすいのが特徴です。英語シャドーイングをする際は、まず全体を聞いて内容を理解し、次に1文ずつ止めながら真似してみてください。マリアの発音は明瞭ですが、「I made so many mistakes」のような速い部分は、繰り返し練習してリズムを覚えましょう。shadowspeakの技術を使うと、発音だけでなくイントネーションも自然に身につきます。また、質問に対する答えの構造を分析することで、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。例えば、「Did you realise immediately...?」に対する答えは「I tried too hard...」と始まり、経験を説明してから結論を出しています。このようなパターンを覚えると、自分で話すときもスムーズになります。

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
